I have been wagering poker now for about 5 years, I’ve wagered cards my entire life starting with games of Gin Rummy for pennies with my Grand Mother, to all of the various forms of Brag and general random games such as Go Fish, Crash and one so eloquently called, card on head game. I used to usually win, whatever casino game we were wagering and although I liked to call it skill, it was really tough to justify thinking about the randomness of the games we were betting, so I was pleased to accept I was having a long-term run of luck.

Then came Poker, or more importantly Holdem Poker, made popular by a group of Texas card gamblers in the sixties and since developed into one of the biggest card phenomena ever experienced. Poker is absolutely the new black, it is uber cool with a lot of of the world’s top celebs racing to have their name connected with it. Just a quick flick via the TV channels these days and you can not escape from poker, and of course there’s the fabled WSOP, the Holy Grail and Mecca all rolled into one for each single player.

So with all of this new discovered recognition, with so several Television programmes devoted to poker, and magazine and book shelves filled up with quality material written by the leading minds on poker, when are men and women going to understand that this casino game is all about position!?

Perhaps I need to not get so worked up about this, after all the far more individuals who wrestle with the delicate techniques and methods necessary for winning consistently at Hold em, the much better it is for everyone else, proper? I mean, if they can’t be troubled to look at all of the offered info about why position is so significant, why need to we bother? We need to just be glad there is one more fish at the table!

It’s true, we ought to not encourage procrastination with guidance and guide. Nonetheless, I liken this to a friendly game of football. Granted the levels are not so superior, except when you observe a gambler having difficulties, you guide them, provide them a number of advice, ultimately showing them a way to get pleasure from, love and be thankful for the game as much as you. I am askin all house players to do exactly the same thing with their poker friends who haven’t quite got a handle on the subtleties of betting position. Guide them to grow their respect for the casino game. Needless to say, don’t attempt to try this one in your local gambling den, the sharks won’t take pleasure in you instructing their meal how to swim!
